Ionbond visiting FABTECH in October!

More and more automotive designers are looking to physical vapor deposition (PVD) coatings to give their car interiors and exteriors an exclusive esthetic. PVD coatings are thin, durable, scratch and wear resistant, and have a premium look and feel. Ionbond is working with high-end car brands to deliver the optimum coating solution for their unique designs. Want to hear more about what we’re doing in this area? Come talk to us at IZB in Wolfsburg, 22-24 October 2024.

At Ionbond, we are proud of what we have achieved. We have over 30 coating centers around the world, a fleet of high-tech coating machines and a wide range of proven, innovative PVD, CVD and PACVD coatings. More than that, we are proud to offer the largest network of surface engineers, ready to provide local support to our customers everywhere.

Join us at our boothS30103 in Orlando, Florida (USA), from October 15 to 17 for the 2024 edition of FABTECH, North America’s largest trade show for metal forming and fabricating. We’re looking forward to showing our premium performance coatings for forming metals and non-ferrous metals, aluminum die casting as well as our developments in plasma nitriding for duplex coatings. In addition, we’d love to hear about your current projects and challenges in forming and molding.

We are proud to present our whitepaper on developing coating solutions for components used in hydrogen, for instance in a hydrogen internal combustion engine. This is a lesser-known application of hydrogen technology for mobility – compared to the more well-known hydrogen fuel cells – yet with strong potential for specific applications such as long haul trucks and heavy duty construction vehicles. The whitepaper is available for download now! Let’s start with a little preview of what it covers.

We’ve got several interesting pieces of news for cutting tool manufacturers in North and Latin America! With new technology in the Ionbond coating center in Duncan (South Carolina), it will be the second USA coating center after Madison Heights (Michigan) to offer the recently developed universal AuroraX^™ Plus coating. In addition, both coating centers offer many of the other Ionbond Premium Plus PVD coatings, such as Tetrabond^™ Plus, Hardcut^™ Plus, Crosscut^™ Plus and Maximizer^™ Plus. Finally our coating center in Cleveland (Ohio) is expanding capacity with the installation of state-of-the-art CVD technology by the end of 2024.

We are excited to launch the first Ionbond Summer School program on Duplex Coatings. Discover and learn more about how to boost the performance of your forming application with duplex coatings and plasma nitriding in 5 insightfull lessons.

Looking for non-toxic alternatives for hard chrome plating and PTFE coatings?

So have we! At Ionbond, we have developed PVD recipes that can provide a viable alternative to these common coatings, even in highly regulated industries like the aerospace sector. Sounds interesting? Read our article and let’s meet up at the Farnborough International Airshow to discuss your application.

As a leader in surface enhancement technology, Ionbond continues to set benchmarks in the aerospace sector with its innovative coating solutions. Our participation in prominent events such as the Farnborough International Airshow underscores our commitment to advancing aerospace technology.

In the realm of product manufacturing, the quest for both aesthetic appeal and durability often leads to a common dilemma: how to make plastic components look more luxurious and stand up to the rigours of daily use. This is where the innovative use of Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coatings offers a solution that enhances both the visual and functional quality of plastic parts across various industries.
